Fry's Sentinel no. 7492 was in steam at the Avon Valley Railway yesterday, hauling branches picked up along the line over to a brush fire.

He he...branch line.

People who have taken the European Sleeper between Bruxelles-Midi and Berlin Hbf: I guess arriving in Bruxelles at 18:05 will leave enough time to catch the 19:22 sleeper? #trains #trainstodon
The Norwegian railway has a "signal error" code, a daily occurence in the Oslo metropolitan area these days. The error does not, however, as one might assume, mean there's something wrong with the railway signalling itself. It just means there's *something* wrong *somewhere*, and you're not getting the green light until it's sorted. It's the error code that indicates there's been an error. #NorwayFacts #Trainstodon

I haven't tooted about #trains lately, so it's a good time to fix that:

Someone set up a camera to record every train that goes by their flat, then runs computer vision software to make elongated images and get speeds and lengths. I'm jealous! https://trains.jo-m.ch/#/trains/list

Trainbot watches a piece of train track, detects trains, and stitches together images of them.

A terrific resource for anyone researching #PullmanPorter ancestors, from the wonderful #Newberry #Genealogy Library in #Chicago:

"Teach with primary sources from the Newberry's collections. This FREE lesson plan teaches students about the #Pullman Company--one of the largest employers of #AfricanAmericans in the early 20th century--and the #porters who worked there."
